I took a look, and this looks like a valuable improvement for
individual orders created from the cart.
Unfortunately, we also need to apply this sort of function to shopping
lists. The client basically offers discretionary discounts to customers
with existing auto re-orders to retain their business. (The client calls
to cancel a recurring order, and the OE person offers a discounted price
as an incentive to remain on the program). So they basically discount
the price on every subsequent order instance (created from the
shoppingList). Can anyone suggest a way we could get this to work via
configuration (promos, store settings etc) or do we just have the choice
of creating a bunch of marketing packages or modifying code?

I think Jacopo improved the manual promotions things recently, might pay to
check the commit logs from the past week and also the dev list. Not sure
about the management thing but it should be pretty easy to create a report
that pulls up the manual promos and who gave them out.

suggestion:
have the promotions for a product show and use a check box to apply.
setup of a max discount per order that is based on the gross profit of
the order. this would allow the OE personnel to select discount but
allow management to keep a certain profit margin.
this would be calculated on the fly as the OE adds and deletes Items
from the order.

We have an OfBiz client who wants to allow special pricing for products
- available only at the order takers discretion. This does not apply to
orders received via the web which will use standard pricing.
1) One way to handle this would be to create multiple marketing packages
with the special price as the default price, and allow the OE person to
select one of these manually, if they wish. This would be cumbersome,
but workable.
2) Another way would be to use manual promotions, to provide a discount
for the product or perhaps all the products in the category (simpler
from a rule maintenance perspective). The OE person would then select
and run the promotion manually. To me this seems a better approach.
In either case, management wants to ensure that they can track how many
of these discounts are given and who gave them - so they can exert some
management control over excessive discounting.
Is there any better way to accomplish their objective- both in terms of
ease of use and management oversight?
